jumble sale cardboard boxes
filled with treasures and trash
scraps sewn together
in patterns that clash
velvet Elvises in gilded frames
painted over Picassos
dripping with bbq sauce stains
mother of pearl inlaid
in plywood toy chests
our worsts thoroughly
mixed with our bests
never quite able to reconcile
the mishmash myriad bits
stashed away for a rainy day
which came and stayed
so the fabric of us was made
